Method

  1. Mix the flours and yeast with a pinch of salt in a food processor fitted with a dough blade. Pour in the water and mix to a soft dough, then work for 1 min. Remove the dough and roll out on a lightly floured surface to a round about 30cm across. Lift onto an oiled baking sheet.
  2. Spread the canned tomatoes over the dough to within 2cm of the edges. Arrange the cherry tomatoes and courgettes over the top, then scatter with the mozzarella. Mix the capers, olives and garlic, then scatter over the top. Drizzle evenly with the oil. Leave to rise for 20 mins. Heat oven to 240C/ fan 220C/gas 9 or the highest setting.
  3. Bake the pizza for 10-12 mins until crisp and golden around the edges. Scatter with the parsley to serve.

    Used this recipe for 2 pizza bases, then just added my own toppings. Had a tuna, onion and mushroom pizza and a ham and artichoke - delicious! Great pizza recipe, will be doing it again this weekend, only with chorizo and whatever veg are left over in the fridge!

    This recipe is really nice and easy to be prepared. I have tried many recipes before, by far this one has the most straight forward instruction. In order to make the pizza dough more flavourful, I let it ferment in room temperature 5-6 hours. After long fermentation period, the dough will become more stretchy and easy to be shaped according to what you want. Lisa www.bakingfrenzy.com

    Re the yeast needing sugar, the 'fast action' dried yeast may not need it, it'll say on the packet. To the person whose pizza didn't rise, the most likely reason is that the yeast was out of date. Stale yeast won't work. I will use a higher proportion of white flour next time - this was a bit heavy even though I rolled it out really thinly. But the biggest thing is there's no cheese on the base! The mozzarella wasn't enough. Next time I'll use tomato puree (I found it hard to drain off the juice) and then a layer of cheese before the other ingredients. But this was a good, easy recipe.

    Well, I made it! It tasted really good and packed up with vegetables. I changed the recipe. I went different way about the topping. Gave up capers, cut down a little tiny bit on the courgettes. Instead I add a few finely sliced mushrooms, a few cherry tomatoes and 1 tablespoon of goat's cheese. My children loved that. I posted the recipe on my blog www.bayaderka.blogspot.com So thanks for sharing the recipe with us!

    Oooh my. This turned out awfully. I must be awful with dough. I doubled the quantities for this recipe and the crust turned out far too crumbly and dry. It didn't leaven one bit, and with all the ingedients on top the thin crust simply didn't hold. My kitchen was a disaster zone. The topping was delicious though.

    Made this last night. Came out really well. I am actually going to ask what I need to do to make a thinner crust? Perhaps halve the yeast? Will def make again. Just had the last slice as lunch :)

    Makes a nice pizza base - without the added fat of the oil. It does taste like a very healthy pizza so I'd say this recipe is only for the dieters. But saying that very tasty and I would make again - maybe with a bit more cheese.

    The Nourishing Road commented on this recipe

    Interesting idea for a 'healthy' pizza. Although, Olive oil is a monounsaturated fat, and therefor the fatty acids would be destroyed in the long heating process. Coconut oil or lard would be a much more nourishing choice. Did you know these saturated fats are bursting with goodness and are actually HEART HEALTHY!

    Added a bit of oil to the dough to make sure it wasn't too dry, then left it to rise for about 30 minutes before rolling. My topping was tomatoes, followed by garlic and dried herbs on the base, red onion, mushrooms and crumbled goat's cheese. Delicious!

    Dried yeast does not need proofing.

    Great easy recipe, made tonight for supper with friends as part of main course but will use in future as an impromptu snack attack when friends are round for drinks as so quick and if you have anti pasti bits and bobs to hand, toppings choice is endless from storecupboard ingredients even if not so virtuous!

    This recipe has become a staple in our house, although I do add garlic and basil to the tomato sauce. The dough has worked every time and we add a whole range of toppings. It's quick and easy and we'll never buy frozen again!
